Since announcing Last Night in Soho, Edgar Wright fans have been curious as to exactly who would star in the new film and now, news of some initial casting comes to us from also on board.
Aside from knowing that Last Night in Soho will take place in London’s famed Soho district, there isn’t a lot of plot information to go on. Production on the new film will begin this summer from a script that Wright co-wrote with for an interesting setup to a psychological horror-thriller.
As a filmmaker, Wright seems to have always known what he wants from his work. His desire to pay both homage to and mock the dynamics of Hollywood action blockbusters came through loud and clear in 2007’s Hot Fuzz, as did his repeated claims that Baby Driver would make an actual character out of the music that its soundtrack utilizes. If Wright now says that his latest work is a film about central London, then at this point in his entertaining career there is little reason to doubt him. It’s hard to think of two better examples of British horror to be inspired by than Don’t Look Now and Repulsion, though those films certainly aren’t for everyone. Here’s hoping that Last Night in Soho can hit all the highs that Edgar Wright fans have come to expect.
